ARTISTIC DANCER (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at Wangaratta, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Tackling a more suitable race so she can play a big role. GAME THEORY (13) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1400m at Echuca, beaten 8 lengths into ninth. Has the ability to produce a better result. SUGAR AND SWEET (2) has been kept fresh for this after he was strongly fancied last time but beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 1454m at Kyneton. Settles back early but winds up late. Should be competitive. MACOCHA (18) turned in a better run last start, beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth over 1300m at Bendigo. Nicely placed to find some form.
